Todofy: A Modern Open Source Productivity App for People Who Want to Get Things Done

Managing tasks should be simple.

But many productivity apps become complicated over time. Too many features, too many notifications, and too much focus on organizing instead of actually doing the work.

Todofy was created with a different idea:

A calm, fast, and private productivity workspace where tasks, planning, focus, and your daily workflow come together.

Todofy is an open source desktop productivity app designed for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It combines task management, calendar planning, focus timers, reminders, journaling, and local-first storage into one focused workspace.

Why Todofy Exists

Modern productivity tools often force users to choose between simplicity and powerful features.

Simple apps can feel limited.

Powerful apps can feel overwhelming.

Todofy tries to balance both:

• Fast task capture when ideas appear
• Clear daily planning
• Flexible views for different workflows
• Focus tools to help complete work
• Privacy-first local storage

Instead of becoming another place to manage your life, Todofy is designed to help you move your work forward.

Capture Tasks Instantly

The hardest part of productivity is often starting.

Todofy makes capturing ideas fast.

Use the global quick-add shortcut:

Ctrl + Alt + A

Create tasks without leaving your workflow.

You can also use natural language:

pay rent friday 5pm #home p1

Todofy understands:

• Dates
• Times
• Priorities
• Labels

and turns your text into structured tasks.

Stay Focused With Built-In Timers

Planning is only useful when it helps you execute.

Todofy includes built-in focus tools:

Pomodoro Timer

Use focused sessions with:

• Focus periods
• Short breaks
• Long breaks

Task Time Tracking

Track the real time spent on tasks.

You can:

• Start
• Pause
• Stop

and compare your actual time against your estimate.

This helps answer an important question:

Where does my time actually go?

---

Plan Your Calendar

Tasks and schedules belong together.

Todofy includes a built-in calendar experience where you can organize:

• Tasks
• Events
• Deadlines
• Recurring work

View your schedule using:

• Month view
• Week view
• Day view

You can also optionally push dated tasks into Google Calendar with one-way synchronization.

---

Journal Your Progress

Productivity is not only about completing tasks.

It is also about understanding your progress.

Todofy includes a Markdown-based journal where you can:

• Write daily notes
• Add mood tracking
• Review completed work
• Summarize your day

Your productivity history becomes a reflection of your progress.

---

Privacy First and Local-First

Many productivity apps require accounts before you can even start.

Todofy takes a different approach.

Your data is stored locally using SQLite and the app works fully offline.

No account is required for local usage.

Optional cloud sync is available when you want your data across devices.

Todofy keeps the choice in your hands.

Built With Modern Technology

Todofy is built as a lightweight desktop application using modern technologies:

• Tauri 2 for the desktop framework
• Rust for the backend
• Preact + TypeScript for the interface
• Tailwind CSS for styling
• SQLite for local storage
• Supabase for optional synchronization

This architecture allows Todofy to stay fast, secure, and lightweight.
